Yeh.... you're right and who am I to talk, I put 20" Foose rims on my bus.

Back in the late 1990's the Dr was working on a deal to have reproduction -4 Fuchs made 16x6 BUT it never happened.

Funny, he advertised them in his catalog for years.

Anyone see any updates on these wheels?

Raining and too cold to go in the garage so I goofed around on the computer while watching TV tonight...not perfect and needs major work but will be good basis for making a 3D printed scale version.

ATS Classics for me ... lightweight and they look like Ferrari wheels

wheel companies have been putting their Spin on wheel designs for years,
Nothing new,,,,

4-Fuchs in 18",custom widths.Rhino3D.
Why I like the 1552 endeavor,for a greater selection.
Their product is different enough to be unique,not the same.
This model is a regular extrusion,without the Fuch's forged part's curvature.

2 piece from OG mahles 15x7 same can be done with fuchs

hard to beat the OG design,, sometimes an extra inch is greater..

Now copy this center and make it a bolt on rim
You could use steel barrels to keep costs down and have a wide range of sizes. Plus you could make it 4 bolt or 5 bolt.

...do it! Really would be a great wheel option

So this is what fifteen52 just released.

Sweet I like it

^Same here, I'm sure a set of 4 cost more than I paid for my car so you won't see me rolling a set for sure.

Hootchi mama! I vote YES....too expensive....but YES

I don't get the antique brass look. Doesn't go well with any of the factory colors.

I'm impressed, but a full set of real 4 bolt fuchs is about the same price as one of those Fifteen52 rims.

I think the main selling point is the different widths and offsets available.

I'm guessing we'll see them on more VW Bugs and the like than on 914's.

I just bought a nice set of 4 bolt fuch for $250. How much are the fifteen52's

Are they 15x7 with a custom offset?

I doubt it

No

Good point!

They would look great on my black 914!
I would order 16x7, but not if it costs more than what I paid for my 914

Probably double the weight of a nice 2.0 Fuch !

I like them but I know they're going to be at a price point that's going to miss most of the old school 914 crowd. That being said, I'd consider a set if they came in a color scheme I could deal with... There are very few if any decent wheel offerings in 4 bolt.

Silver car and that finish though

$700/wheel base price. (+200/wheel for certain colors)

It is true that a set of these cost more than many paid for their whole vehicle.

I like them, but could buy a set of 15" Fuchs for less and refinish them.

Fixed it for 'ya ...

They're a whole lot newer than a 914 Fuchs wheel, though.

Hey, if they're decently light and decently strong, and come in 914-friendly offsets, I'm happy to see them around!

--DD

Of course I'm all in!

Super excited to get a set.


Lol

Here are some of the color options for the wheels.

700 per wheel, I am out.

Cost?..

Price compared to what we paid for our cars????

Why bother overthinking this...... SOMEONE IS MAKING WHEELS FOR OUR DOPEY LITTLE CAR,!!!



I'M liking the attention.

When you can buy a set of 2.0 Fuchs for a couple hundred bucks, spending 2800+ on wheels that look very much the same doesn't make sense.

If I'm going to spend money on stock-ish looking wheels, they will be for alumn steelie looking wheels for the 356 that I can swap on my 914 whenever I want an old school look of hubcap wheels with lightweight benefits.

Just noticed on FB

http://www.52outlaw.com/outlaw-002-for-porsche-914-debuts/

15-18

They need to fit a 914 budget too...

If the 40-year-old (and more!) Fuchs start failing while on the street or on the track, 2800 will probably seem pretty cheap in comparison. The five-lug ones have been failing for a few years now; it's only a matter of time (and, more to the point, use) until ours start failing as well.

...Then again, they're not going on my car any time soon...

Forged wheels custom machined and coated in sizes to suit,high quality.
A broken wheel at speed can make for interesting times on or off road.

...

It's ok.
Not a buyer.
There is a market,that is sure,and the finish is custom,any flavour including Banana.

Does forged aluminum fail because of age, mileage, a combination of both? I haven't heard of Fuchs failing at a faster rate more recently so I wonder who and how it's determined to be just a mater of time. Will all the other forged and cast aluminum suspension parts on our cars soon be failing and require replacement?

I like it.

But (a) that does seem pretty over priced unless it is some sort of exotic material and super light & strong and (b) I can't imagine building a modified 4-cylinder car at this point. If I'm going to modify a 914 and use aftermarket wheels, it's almost certainly going to be 5-bolt.

Relatively,the prices are not out of line for the product.
